Heathfield Community School

This school is rubbish. the other day I got locked in the small hall while it was boiling hot all because I was going to "hurt someone" they held the door closed for an hour with no way out I was screaming crying and they shouted at me you should not shout at someone while they are crying this is not right and in the end I got suspended for "not listening" it's the worse school Mr hooper is the worst and so is Mr Tinkler they physically pushed me when I tried to open the door to get out not good to push a 15 year old when you are like 6'6 or somthing like that

This school is horrible, there is a rat infestation and is very unhygienic the toilets are filthy the teaches don't care about students mental health they are a rubbish school and do nothing to help especially bullying

awful tbf
teachers don't even listen to you

Shocking levels of negligence, particularly from the SEND team. Zero pastoral care.
Totally unsafe for majority of students. How is it still operating???

my small tiny teeny child gets bullied reallltd golodyly bad. but the pizza OH MAA AGAWD!!!!!!!!!!!

This school is shocking. No good teachers left. My daughter been bullied really badly since day one from being punched to name calling to even threatening to beat her up by older aged kids in that school we complained and complained to school asked to speak to the headmistress to deal with the situation as no other teacher was helping was just passing my child to different teacher as they couldn't deal with it they were more worried of trying to take her phone from her when she didn't felt safe and called me rather than dealing with the proper issue bullying there is no communication from school you call then and they say they will ring you back as they all busy but they never do I am still waiting to have an appointment with headmistress and she just ignored us. They called me that my child wasn't in school yet her app said that she was and she was they just lost her even thou she was at all her lessons. My child don't feel secured and safe in school at all. No communication at all from school apart from an email which is all about the changes that they doing but nothing is being changed at all this school should be closed down. Not enough stuff changing lessons constantly due to lack of teachers in this school or sometimes no lessons at all my child's class at one period had no teacher at all so they've been left to their own devices my child can't even learn properly because teachers can't deal with disruptions properly. No sitting area outside or if there is is so little and not enough for all the students so my daughter had to put down her jacket down on a muddy grass so her jacket was filthy just to be able to sit down and eat her lunch. A lot of students go hungry as long cues to pick up some lunch from the canteen as not enough time to wait to get their dinner and eat it before they have to go back to lessons. Not enough teachers checking the outdoors when kids are out they vape/smoke, fight and my child even said students drink alcohol in schools in the blind spots and teachers never see it as they never there. Last but not least not enough support for SEN children and children which needs extra support.

The amount of times I've been bullied by Year 8s is staggering (I'm in Year 10 btw). Like seriously who do they think they are.

vape in all the toilets! deodorant cans flying around the classroom

Having been a student for almost 5 years, I can safely say that there a lot of things wrong with the school - especially since the new head joined. There’s little to no communication with either students or teachers to the point where many of us don’t officially know what the plan is for the strike days this Wednesday and Thursday. The toilets are mostly unusable or disgusting to the point that no one wants to use them and there hasn’t been soap in one of the dispensers all year. When we get forced outside because it’s “sunny” - not warm, just sunny - many people end up sitting on the floor or on fenced because there’s little outdoor seating. Honestly I don’t blame all the teachers who have left, I can’t wait to not have to associate with this place either.

It's so awful and distasteful. I don't consider this a learning environment rather than a breeding ground for hooligans and bunch of bullies, gangs and touts.
I pity any parent sending their children to the school.
A word is enough for the wise.

i am an avid enjoy-er of baguettes

When evaluating schools according to their quality, parents and students look at many factors. A school's student body and teacher qualification rates are two factors that most parents consider when deciding where their children will go to school. The ranking of a school's student body usually correlates with its overall standing. However, schools can be highly rated despite having a poor student body. Therefore, it's important to consider both the number and quality of a school's students when evaluating its quality.

Heathfield community school is a sixth grade school in Southampton, England. Most of its students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds; many don't have enough food to eat every day. Therefore, most of the school's students are poor. Although this fact makes the school an excellent place for poor children to learn, it makes it an obstacle for high-scoring children who need more enriching courses in place. The school's low ranking indicates that the government needs to improve the educational opportunities available to low-income families.

Hey geuss who got their tie stolen then chased along a roundabout outside of the school by an underaged kid on an electric scooter and a kid covered in spots yours truly KL-G

I am currently a Yr11 student at Heathfield, and I would not be wrong in saying that it has gone downhiill over the past couple of years. The school has always been known for our misbehavior, however this year and last year have been when I have observed it at its worst. This year, not only have a witnessed an increase in fighting, drug usage and vapers/smokers at the back of the field, I have also rarely seen any SLT/Teachers coming to the back to deal with it. Also, as many have said before, the school does not care for or deal with students mental health correctly, and that is one of my main concerns nowadays. I have also seen that truanting has been really bad this year, with quite a few of my lessons being interrupted and a few cases where the teachers have subtly locked their doors as to prevent further disruption. It's at this stage where I'm glad to be leaving the school after our exams, and I wish our current headmaster the best with dealing with the school's issues.

My child has flourished as she has been able to use the Zen Den to help support her mental health. Please why would you take this facility away from any student that struggles with mental health. Disgusting!

The school does not care about Mental Health.
In Year 10, we had an assembly about how they care about mental health. Next day, they take away the Zen Den. What is going on!!!

school is very very good and chemistrey is the best lesson and I have a great teacher not sure why he was cooking blue powder though...

i love the learn all the time, i only learn

Computer Science is fantastic, not rivalled by any other school.
The learning curriculum is incredible, and I already feel prepared for life after school.
Not to mention the amazing teacher who keeps us going through the thick and thin.
